I’m spending a few days with my Aunt Kim, but Daddy has filed the following report:
Pamela gave birth to Emily Alexandra at 12:25 a.m. on Friday, February 1, 2008, at Trinity at Terrace Park in Bettendorf, Iowa. Both came through the ordeal alive and well.
Emily weighed 5 pounds, 5.2 ounces, was 18 inches long, and had 10 fingers, 10 toes, and everything else she was supposed to. (One official footprint suggests that she only has three toes on one foot; don’t believe it. And reports of a tail were grossly overstated.)
She was delivered by cesarean section after two days of labor activities, which made apparent that this little girl was not going to come out the natural way. Who knows from where she got those stubbornness genes? I got to do the ceremonial ribbon-cutting, and they said I didn’t screw it up too badly.
We expect Pamela and Emily to be released from the hospital no later than Monday, February 4. Send congratulations to Pamela at pamelak42@hotmail.com. She’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and your generosity over the past nine months. We are grateful and elated that Emily arrived safe and healthy, and we look forward to sharing her with you, especially those of you willing to babysit.
Congratulations! She's beautiful! God's blessings on your new arrival. Christine
Pamela, Jeff and Ginger,
What a beautiful new addition you have to your family. What an incredible gift.
Yes, I am willing to babysit...or at least come and play with Emily and keep the rest of the family company. :>)
She is so beautiful!! Looks like you have a lot of people excited to babysit, so add us to your list! I'm so happy for you guys!
